USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Old imperialism required maintaining an area as a physical colony. However, new imperialism focused on expanding influence over local governments, using colonies for military bases, establishing black markets to take over existing markets, and building railroads.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the mid to late 19th century, the European powers colonized much of Africa and Southeast Asia. During the decades of imperialism, the industrializing powers of Europe viewed the African and Asian continents as reservoirs of raw materials, labor, and territory for future settlement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The European imperialist push into Africa was motivated by three main factors, economic, political, and social. It developed in the nineteenth century following the collapse of the profitability of the slave trade, its abolition and suppression, as well as the expansion of the European capitalist Industrial Revolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -On the flip side, European imperialism in Africa focused largely on natural resources in order to acquire the raw materials that the continent yielded at a low price. Another important difference is that in East Asia, European imperialism didn’t include a slave trade whereas in Africa, in many cases, it did.
